Product Description
Sodium tetrachloroaluminate, often represented as NaAlCl4, is a chemical compound consisting of sodium cations (Na+) and tetrachloroaluminate anions (AlCl4−). Similar to lithium tetrachloroaluminate, it is used as an electrolyte component in certain battery systems, particularly in sodium-ion batteries. The electrolyte plays a crucial role in facilitating the movement of ions between the battery's cathode and anode during the electrochemical reactions that occur during charging and discharging cycles.
